Greetings gitfolk, sorry to bother... So I migrated to gitlab,
and that took a few tries but seems to have gone OK
   https://gitlab.com/peterbillam
and everything's there :-) except if I try:
   git clone https://gitlab.com/peterbillam/miditools
it asks for Username and Password - but I want the world, not
just registered gitlab users, to be able to git clone my stuff.
So I went though all my projects setting Settings/Permissions
Project Visibility = Public but no change, then I tried
   cd ~/gitlab/miditools
   git config --add core.sharedRepository world
but then git commit says "nothing to commit":
   git status
   On branch master
   Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
   nothing to commit, working directory clean
and
   git add .git/config
isn't allowed.  I even tried reading the manual:
   
https://help.github.com/articles/why-is-git-always-asking-for-my-password/
which didn't seem to contain anything helpful :-(
It's probably Very Easy if you know the answer: how can I make
git clone work for the world without Username and Password ?
Like I say, sorry to bother y'all ...
